2023: The BEST year of my life?!

[@SandhiraChetty]

I had foundation in my hair and none of you told me 🥲

[@emehlhar]

Didn't notice the issue. Your eyes are just too distracting.

Now we know who your true friends are... 😂

I am happy to see you happy. Thank you for this video. It made me think what this year was for me. It started very bad. The very first day of the year was my grandmother’s birthday who had died a month before that. Didn’t live exactly one month to her 87. Then half of the year I don’t remember what I was doing. I was studying and working. Studying what I didn’t want to do anymore and working with a toxic boss. I almost left my masters when there were just half of the year left to finish it. I had a couple of panic attacks during that time. That was new and not a great experience. There was also a lot of self judging for not doing enough studying. But I finished the masters somehow. At the end of summer I learnt that a person I studied at school with took his own life. It made me feel very bad but for some reason after that it started to become a bit better for me. I quit the job and the toxic boss, moved to the city which is much closer to my hometown. And also to a flat owned by my family so I don’t need to pay half of my salary for rent. I can now renovate my own place how I want it. And I think just this thing made me feel much better because comfort is very important for me. I also like my new job. It’s the same field but much more interesting. I miss two of my colleagues from my previous job. They are very nice people. And we were pretty eclectic trio at work)) calm 24 years old me, funny 37 years old man and eccentric 63 years old woman. But my new job is very good and I am even starting to socialise in the new town and speak and meet with people outside my family and work. Which is unusual to me. But can’t say that I dislike it. I started to connect a bit more with my roots by learning polish language and chatting with people with whom we had a common ancestor many years ago. I still cannot entertain myself fully because that doesn’t feel right to do so while my country is at war with another country that I love. And still if I look outside my bubble I am feeling my country is losing it. And degrading a lot. A lot of very bad laws were introduced this year which directly affect me because I am against the war and a member of 🏳️‍🌈 community. So I tent to not go outside my bubble. Don’t know if it’s the right thing to do. It honestly feels like inner immigration

Goodness, this was an intense year for you, but actually quite fulfilling at the same time - and it looks like you are much stronger than me and know when to walk away from situations which don't serve you. Thank you for sharing ♥

[@ugashaniragavaloo4915]

Comment.... Ant.... Thank you for a thought provoking video!! Wishing you everything of the best for 2024!

[@SandhiraChetty]

Thank you for listening and watching to the end! 🥰

[@anamikaa]

commentant 😆 Glad you are feeling good about yourself; forget about achieving, what you focus on is doing the next step! Everyone has a responsibility towards doing the things as per their own place in family/society/world. Doing those things will go a long way towards being comfortable whereever you are.

Comment 💬 Ant 🐜 Firstly, congratulations on your car and, most importantly, taking that step to overcome your fear of being behind the wheel on the road. It's a fear I share and am still struggling to overcome, but baby steps. Secondly, and I hope this doesn't come across as rude, but there is so much of misconception that you need to have your life sorted out by 30, etc and that puts so much of pressure on everyone to rush to meet this or you are not winning in life if you haven't. And watching your video has put a much more realistic outlook on life that it is one big growing process and that it takes place each year like the last. There is no race to a finish line but rather a constant growth curve. You have done yourself proud this 2023 and you have definitely grown in all the right ways ❤

[@SandhiraChetty]

That’s not rude at all, what you said is absolutely right. And you’ll get there with driving, like you said, baby steps 💛

Omg I just watched your latest vlog and now I see you commented 😃 TELEPATHY. All the best to you too and miss you too! 🥰

[@daveb5374]

The issue you have now is adjusting to a partner especially since you have been alone so long, it will be very difficult since all ppl are just annoying, you'll be ok as long as your parents are still alive but when they pass you will feel the loneliness . I have no answers but theses are things in life we have to deal with.

[@K_A86]

Get out of your parents' orbit.

[@SandhiraChetty]

Goodness, you sound like a broken record. It’s not as easy as you think for various reasons. Please stop putting pressure on me to do something that isn’t in my capacity right now. Live your own life, not mine.
